Georges St-Pierre to Return at UFC 206 in Toronto?

Georges St-Pierre is possibly set to make his return at UFC 206 held December 10th in Toronto.

It’s pretty obvious that only people who plan to compete enter the testing pool, as it’s pretty pointless to get tested randomly if you aren’t even planning to compete.
